Our football program needs your endorsement now. What would be a better way to show your support than to have over 100 of our alumni and friends attend the luncheon?

We are doing everything we can to restore the tradition to a once proud program. Our former players, who know what it is like to wear that blue jersey can help our current team rewrite history.

This luncheon is for you, for our program, and for the future. Looking forward to seeing all of you on Saturday. Help us bring back the "Goal Post" Trophy!

Check out our Newsletter

The Juniata Football staff would like to inform you about our quarterly newsletter which will be entitled “WAR CHANT”. As a staff, we recognize the importance of keeping our alumni and friends up to date with news and information pertaining to the football program and the college. It is crucial that we keep you involved with Juniata Football for the continued success of this program. It is because of you that our great history and our tradition exist today

The vision of our Newsletter is to use it as a tool to help communicate and interact with all Juniata Football alumni, friends, and associates. Our goal is to be able to correspond with you freely via email. This would be more efficient and cost effective than regular mail. Therefore, we are asking you to email or contact our football administrative assistant Belinda Zauzig with any mailing (e-mail, home address changes, etc.) or phone contact information updates. If you are unsure if we have your updated information, please contact us.
You can email Belinda at: zauzigb@juniata.edu or call her at (814) 641-3510.

If you know of any football alum or friends of the program who are not receiving our correspondences and emails, please give them Belinda’s information so we can add them to our list.

2009 Alumni and Friends of Juniata Golf Outing

Thanks to the many who attended the 1^st Annual Golf Classic on April 18th. We had over 100 people in attendance on the course and had a wonderful day. In addition, 25 friends and associates of Juniata football came to the dinner. The raffle and auction was a success and the monies that were raised helped cover the cost of the outing. We also were able to donate four lockers in honor of all of you who have worn the BLUE and GOLD jersey. We are working extremely hard to restore our history and tradition. We appreciate all of your support and encouragement.
